Rare White Fungus Detected in brain of Post covid 19 Patient
Recently doctors found rare white fungus in brain of post Covid 19 patients. Abuse of steroids and other drugs has weakened the body's immune system and is receiving emergency treatment depending on the underlying condition. Covid19 patients are susceptible to these infections. Currently, doctors are reporting an increase in other fatal fungal infections in patients with Covid19, mainly after a one-week or ten-day stay in the ICU. This is a triple whammy saying that the patient's lungs have already been damaged by Covid19 and have a bacterial infection and now a fungal infection.
A second wave hits India, and as severe patients obstruct the ICU, doctors will see an increase in many dangerous fungal infection which has seen rare white fungus .
However, in patients with Covid19, the rare white fungus that aided in the damage done to the skin blood vessel walls and other inner layers of the respiratory tract by the coronavirus somehow enters the airways.
The number of infected patients is increasing between the second wave of COVID-19. This infectious disease is equipped with severe ventilators, according to Dr. SP Kalantri, medical director of non-profit Kasturuba Hospital with 1,000 beds in Waruda, Maharashtra. Affects about 20% to 30% of patients with one Covid19.
Symptoms: In the case of superficial Candida infection, the symptoms are also called 'white mold' because they include white vaginitis, the bed of the nose, mouth, lungs, stomach and nails. For more invasive forms of infection, when a worm infects the blood, symptoms are often low blood pressure, fever, abdominal pain, urinary tract infection.
Hyderabad found a white fungal abscess in the brain of a recovered Covid patient : A rare case of white fungus or ash that forms an abscess in the brain after Covid19 infection is being reported in the city. Asthma-induced brain inflammation is common, but there are very few cases of shiro throat where doctors form an abscess. A patient in Old Town recovered from Covid19 last May and developed weakness in hands and feet and difficulty firing after recovery. A brain scan revealed clot-like formations that did not subside after dosing.
As a result of surgery, Shiro found that the throat mushroom was forming an abscess in the brain. The infection is after recovery from Covid19. In general, fungal infections in patients with corona 19 are found when they have diabetes. The patient does not have diabetes. Unlike black mold, the sinuses are clearly the sinuses that indicate that mildew does not enter the brain through the nose, Dr. P Ranganadham, Senior Neurosurgeon at Sunshine Hospitals, Gachibowli, said. There are two small lesions elsewhere. As the patient became more symptomatic, repeated contrast brain MRIs over time increased the size of the lesion and made the margins denser and clearer. Small lesions remained unchanged after surgery, including a sufficiently encapsulated abscess.
"A soft necrotic substance different from the normal brain,” said Dr. Ranganadamu
.He said the pathological analysis of the abscess indicated that it was a case of white fungal infection, technically called aspergillosis. He stated that aspergillosis of the central nervous system is the result of invasion of cerebral blood vessels by white mold.
Mold can inhale lung spores where it enters the bloodstream or enter the brain directly through the nose. In Hyderabad, mildew and Aspergillus fungi that form abscesses in the brain of Corona 19 were rarely reported. Dr P Ranganadham, an appointed neurosurgeon at Sunshine Hospitals, spoke in a dialogue with the TOI that such a phenomenon was unusual and speculated on the route by which white mold invades the patient's brain. Doctor found that white mold formed an abscess in the patient's brain after surgery. He said that aspergillus-induced brain inflammation (granulomas) was rare but doctors found few cases of abscess-forming mildew.
Mildew is a common fungal infection, black mold is more dangerous
A new case of so-called mildew has now been discovered in Uttar Pradesh.
"Mildew is just a myth, a misunderstanding. It is basically a type of mold-infected Candida called Candida. Infectious disease expert Dr. Ishiwar Gilada described it as "the most common fungal infection." Experts also said that reports that "mildew" is more dangerous than black mold if left unfounded.
Dr. Kapil Salgia, a respiratory specialist at Bombay Hospital Professor Kim, who has treated patients with black mold, said, "Mumbai fungal disease continues to invade and can cause many damage to the sinuses, eyes, and brain, requiring major surgery. Can be. " Other treatments such as antivirals and antibiotics. It is a predisposition to the development of a fungal infection depending on the dosage of a given steroid and the duration they are given. Steroids cause immunosuppression,” said Dr. Ishwar Gilada .
Dr. Kapil Salgia said that simple infections caused by Candida are clinically easier to manage than black mold.
